A very happy puppy

There are moments when I'd like to wring Otis's neck. Those are usually the times when he's chewing up pillows or running wild through the house with some expensive undergarment. Then there are moments when I can't imagine loving the dog one ounce more than I do. Right now is one of the latter moments. M brought in a box of stuff from my old office last night. Buried in the box was a tennis ball that I kept in my office for entertaining Otis when he came to visit. (One good thing about my old job was that dogs were welcome to come by to say hello.) Needless to say, Otis found the tennis ball. He has been the most adorably content dog in the world since. He has his puzzle bone in his mouth, and he is wandering through the house, playing with the ball like a cat. It's so cute- it melts my heart. Of course, he tends to knock the ball under the furniture a lot, which means to keep him happy, I have to dig around for the ball every three minutes or so, but it's worth it. Right now, he's laying in the floor at my feet, knocking the ball back and forth between his front paws. His two bones are on either side of him...

I was going to post a pic of the happy puppy, but something is messed up with the security settings, so you'll all have to wait. (Note to M...help!)

Can't wait, Can't wait, Can't wait, Can't wait, Can't wait, Can't wait, Can't wait, Can't wait! For our own puppy, that is. We really have to land in the same town eventually, so our pups can play together, our husbands can play together, and you and I can play together! Oh and the future little ones, too (although mine are still imaginary)! Missing you...

Oh, I miss my little doggie so much! We'll get a new one after we get married, probably in the summer. It's just not the right time now to do it. However, there is an adorable six month old Cockapoo puppy at work that I can visit every day. Her name is Rosie and she is the sweetest, wiggliest thing ever. Yay, happy little licky dog!

Enjoy your little Otis-- and get that picture up!
